Playing with an Infragistics WebDialogWindow Bug

Found a bug in the Infragistics WebDialogWindow.

I discovered it when using the zooming function via holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling the mouse wheel to make the display more visible to the group I was demo-ing to. Moving the WebDialogWindow around leaves text behind. Oops.

Not exactly the demo I was shooting for.

But can be used to generate some cool effects:

Increasing number of connections in IIS 5.1

XP Pro IIS 5.1 is limited by default to 10 concurrent connections.

This can be increased to a maximum of 40 by:

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil set w3svc/MaxConnections 40

Using Manoli

I use http://manoli.net/csharpformat/ , or other manoli flavors, to format code for presentation in this blog.

Delayed action on Mouseover

Haven't tried this yet, just parked it here till I need to use it.
